5 Women Reveal The Vibrators That Totally Changed Their Sex Lives

It's no secret that having a vibrator on standby is a super convenient way to get the job done—especially during a dating drought, dry spell, or long-distance relationship. But they can also take your already awesome sex life to a whole new level, adding another layer of intimacy to your relationship you didn't know existed. (Grrr, baby.)

Here, five women give us the dirt on which vibrators changed their sex lives for the better.

Rianne S. Heart Vibe

"Whether I'm in a relationship or not, I always have a variety of sex toys around. Experimenting is my jam. But when my new BF found my stash, for some reason it really wigged him out. He eventually apologized for being a jerk in the form of a Rianne S. Heart Vibe, which is now my favorite clit vibrator (for both practical and sentimental reasons). To this day, he can't figure out why it bothered him so much, but ever since, we've had one of the most open dialogues about our sexual needs and wants that I've ever had in a relationship." —Andrea C., 32

SVAKOM Tyler Vibrating Penis Ring

"I dated this guy once who always finished fast—like, lightning fast. Fortunately, he was into trying out different toys to help him last longer. We went online and found the SVAKOM Tyler Vibrating Penis Ring, which was supposed to give his endurance a boost while stimulating my clit in the process. Did it ever! It took both of us a while to adjust to using it (mastering positions and whatnot), but it did help him last longer. It also boosted his confidence to the point where I experienced multiple orgasms on several occasions. Though we eventually broke up, I recently bought one to start using with my new guy." —Mia M., 29

JimmyJane Iconic Wand Petite

"If it weren't for vibrators, my husband and I probably wouldn't have a sex life. I have vulvodynia, which makes penetration feel like his penis is trying to murder me. It used to take a lot of foreplay to get ready, and even then sex only went from excruciating to barely tolerable. A friend recommended I try bringing a vibrator into the equation, and after a lot of trial and error, my go-to is the JimmyJane Iconic Wand Petite. It's a comfortable size, and the lower speeds help me gradually prepare for penetration. (Hubs calls it his 'partner in crime.') I'll never experience pleasure the way most women do, but thanks to the foreplay routine that, ahem, the three of us have mastered, sex feels (a little) better now." —Nathalie I., 30

"My BF hinted around (and eventually full-fledged begged) that we have anal sex. But after several not-so-hot anal experiences during my last relationship, I was beyond gun shy. Once I finally fessed up about my feelings, he was super understanding about the whole thing and never brought it up again. He was so great about it that all that I wanted to face my unresolved issues. After a ton of research, I bought A&E Booty Bliss Vibrating Beads to practice with. I was planning on practicing on my own and then surprising him later, but he ended up spotting the beads in the nightstand drawer during his usual dig for condoms. I told him about my plans, and his face lit up like it was Christmas. My stomach flip-flopped when he suggested we try using them together, but I'm so glad we did—and so is my back door." —Katrina T., 25 (Don't forget lube! We like this organic one from the Women's Health Boutique.)

Hitachi Magic Wand

"Like many women, my vibe soulmate is (and always will be) the Hitachi Magic Wand. When I first started having sex, I was one of those girls who was 'pretty sure' she'd had an orgasm, which clearly meant I hadn't. After overhearing me awkwardly ask my sister about what an orgasm is supposed to feel like, my mom bought me my first wand and emphasized that it was a 'full-body' massager (using air quotes and everything). 'Just make sure I'm at work when you try it,' she half-joked. I came in less than a minute! That one orgasm set the tone for my entire adult life: Never wait for a guy to do what you can do yourself, both in and out of the bedroom. I've tried many vibrators over the years—with partners and without—but the Magic Wand is the one I always count on to finish the job." —Carly B., 34
